[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Instead of Nobuo popping out of Yuu's chest, Yuu was veiled underneath what would have been Nobuo. The tengu form was more orderly as Yuu accepted Nobuo's actions, both memories, feelings, and forms came together. It wasn't perfect, but as one entity working for one solitary thing, they were in unison. This new form had almost two new sets of arms, wings, and even eyes along the mask. Yuu didn't pay attention to how oddly his body felt at that time, but he sprung into the air, flying swiftly to the assailant and planted one set of hands into the attacker's face and the other grabbed a hold of the sword, separating the sword from its wielder and tossing the sword to the ground.

Arata grunted in surprise, though not terribly upset at what had just happened. After all, they were another step closer to their goal. But the elders told them nothing about the strange tengu monster that was flying before him. Arata licked his lips and grinned, "Those wings will make a good wall decoration!"
